SwiftMessage (Prowide Integrator API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- com.prowidesoftware.swift.model.SwiftMessage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class SwiftMessage
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
Base class for swift messages.
This class is a generic data structure container for SWIFT messages.

This is a low level java representation of an MT. If you are looking for a class more suitable to be persisted see MtSwiftMessage

Instances of this class may have a list of unparsed texts (UnparsedTextList). For easy access, methods have been created that first ensure the lists exists (the real object is created and then call the base method).
However, not all the base list methods have been implemented. If you need to use not exposed functionality, retrieve the underlying list with (see getUnparsedTexts method).
